encore w/o a motor

[bw]

The D.o.t. here has a 48" encore that is going up for sale by way of closed bids, it's hydro, but has no motor, I was wondering what a new motor would run me and what else to look for, how much to bid etc.???

$400 to $1000

Mower worth about $2-300

Personally I wouldn't waste my time.
